"Don't you like the couotry?" Joyce
ventured to ask.
"Like It? I loathe it! Thank g'oodnese
I am only here just in the middle a the
summer. How Philip endures it all the
year round is a mystery to 2110."
Joyce's ey'es asked the question she was
too well-bred to utter, and airs. Warren -
der burst out leng,Iiing,
"You are thinking I'm a funny sort of

and is ahs eys off somewhere. People make
a great fuss of him—far moeo than if I
were on the scene, I tell Jahn.
"I suppoee a clergyman's duties are not

but len right for all that. Don'e, You

Joyce wae eilent.
"Far mr
y pat, I'm alwaye relieved when
I find out that the poor people are drunk;
ett, or idle, or something of that tiort,"
the ea/tikes voice rattled on, 'nett , you

amusingly that Joyce would have heen
greatly entertained by this peep into .a
life so different from her own if it, hod
not been for the feeling of uneaeinese, the
larking dread that -Woold not be banahed.
The vieitor had been everywhere and eeen
everything; she had wintered in Egypt,
had paveed the spring months on the Ray-
eria, and had just returned from a visit
to Paris. .As Joyce listeneerto her adven-
tures, she could not help thinking that a
little of Mae Warrender'e society would
go further towards curing Felicity of what
Eliza called her ,folly than any number or
vieits from Mr. Carmichael.
"You and Miss Gray will oontte and see
MO, won't yea?" she asked, when at last
she took her leave, Joyce walking with
her to the gate. "It's a pretty place, the
rectory is—so is Stanton Orby, for that
Matter. Ever seen it? Oh, you must come"
—as Joyce ebook her head. "Thatched cot-
tages, pretty gardene, village green—that
sort of thing, you know. I tell Philip it
would be quite endurable if it were aot
for the people. The men ,have oo enorals
and the women no manners -1 don't know
which is the worst. Such a ehocking ex_
amide for tire upper classes. isn't it, Mies
Hamilton?" she added, with that flash of
fun in her eyethat went far to condone
much of what he said. "The plaee is over-
run with children — little terrors who
haven't a tongue among them. They al-
ways stare at me as if I were a circus.'
As she- gathered up the reins and bent
to ohoke hands he lowered her voice,
"I will aek Philip all about Robert Stone
and tell you when you call. In the mean-
time, do advise Miss Gray to get rid. of
him. I never interfere in other people's at -
fairs on principle, but I must in this ease.
'I'm sure yoil are both much too nice to be
imposed on by such a. man."
After that Joyce determined that no•
thing would Induce her to go to the ree•
tory, and neither should Felicity if she
could help it.
Rather to her surprise Felicity declared
she had no intention of returning lire.

for her, she said, and she did not want

sounded so u-nlike the old Felicity. She
began to wonder it.it were not her duty
to persuade her to got and. ehe exerted
herself to describe the visitor, half hoping
that Felieity would change her mind. Per.

Robert Stone had had ;lath pleasant talk.
The night -breeze stirred her pretty dark

moon emiled placidly down on the gielish,

"I -wish I had brought it book •up with

with a. sigh of relief she went back to bed

Windmill Used by French Outpost for Observation Purposes.
One of the most arduotta dudes whieh falls to the lot of the soldiers
is perhaps that of outpost work, the special functions of which are to
gather information concerning the enemy's movements. In order to
obtain tine information nearly every device is tried; one such method
is shown above. Under certain •conditions a windmill offers a good
point of vantage for an obsefver, who, stands on the axle, lining his
body up against the arm of the sail. Concerning the general ditties.
